Which physical quantity has dimensions [ML²T⁻³]? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Which physical quantity has dimensions [ML²T⁻³]?
A. Power
B. Energy
C. Momentum
D. Force
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Power = Work/Time. Work has dimensions [ML²T⁻²], dividing by time [T] gives [ML²T⁻³]. Energy is [ML²T⁻²], force is [MLT⁻²], momentum is [MLT⁻¹]. This dimensional formula uniquely identifies power. Memory tip: Power = energy per second ⇒ dimensions include extra T⁻¹ factor. Frequently tested in dimensional analysis sections of competitive exams.

The electrical resistance of a conductor depends on its
A. Colour
B. Magnetic property
C. Transparency
D. Length and area of cross-section

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
R = ρL/A, depends on length (L), cross-sectional area (A), and resistivity (ρ) which depends on material and temperature. Not on colour or transparency.

The phenomenon of apparent change in frequency due to relative motion between source and observer is called
A. Echo
B. Resonance
C. Diffraction
D. Doppler effect

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Doppler effect: observed frequency higher when approaching, lower when receding. Applications: radar speed guns, astronomical redshift/blueshift, echocardiography. Echo is reflection. Resonance is vibration matching. Diffraction is bending.
